America Out Loud is the premier news network with a diverse array of talk shows that inform and inspire. A daily resource for smart people.
Well, if we've learned anything from these past couple of years, my fellow Americans, it's that personal medical freedom and liberty are in crisis.
America Out Loud Pulse brings together the top experts in healthcare-related fields to.
Welcome our wonderful, wonderful, wonderful audience. Today, I'm particularly glad to have you to talk to, and I'm particularly sad, and I think I can say that. I'm with my wife, Ginger Breggin. This is Peter Breggin. I'm a psychiatrist, and we're on America Out Loud.
Our show will also be going up on our Substack.
Just a few days ago, on Saturday, the show was pre-recorded. Donald Trump was shot and fortunately only clipped in the ear by a bullet.
I hardly know how to approach that with you today, but it seems like there must be some important things to be said. I want to tell you something that occurred to me a day after, when I read about the bullets.
really spraying by him after he got hit, and I began to write about something that very few people know about, which is the only other really important figure I know of, certainly the only president I know of, who has ever lived to talk about bullets whistling by his head and whistling by his ears.
It just made me start to think, and I realized that very few people even are immediately going to be able to say, oh, I know who that is, but you won't. because, many of you, because in America today, and over many decades now, the progressives and globalists, who also go back many, many years, have wanted to make us feel ashamed of our heroes. They don't write about schoolchildren, as they should, the story I'm about to tell you, and they don't want you to know that this nation was made by great men and women, great ones, like we may never see again, coming together in a special place in the world. Well, the other person who repeatedly experienced bullets whizzing by his head was George Washington. At the age of 20, he fought in Virginia against the French and Indians in the French and Indian War.
He fought against a very experienced group of Frenchmen and Native Americans.
The American, I think it was a colonel, was shot dead, leaving Washington in a very difficult position at the age of 22..
And he had two horses shot from under him. Many historians agree on the details I'm now giving you, so I'd be amazed if you haven't heard it. He had four bullet holes through his clothes.
He had a bullet through his hat, and then one historian had information that his hair looked messed up by the bullet.
Afterwards, French and Indians were interviewed,
and an Indian Native American sharpshooter said, I kept firing at his head. I kept firing at him. I could not hit him. And men died around, in addition to the horses, died around Washington.
Not long after, most extraordinary fashion, and so uncharacteristic of the mature Donald Trump's description, which I'll get to in a minute, Washington wrote to his brother, I think his name was Charles, and he said, I just had this experience, and he describes the chaos, and the shooting, and the horses, and everybody again, dying. And he says, and I heard bullets whistling by me. He said, and I must say, it's a sweet sound. Wow.
Now, shouldn't this be a story that we all know? Absolutely. And so I was really interested to see if Donald Trump was going to say he heard the bullets.
I was so interested in that, and lo and behold, he gives these details. I think he said the bullets whizzed by him, and then he had another verb describing it. I was taking notes on it this morning, but this is so hard to talk about and keep the details on. And so I'm going to have a column out on America Out Loud, and then on our sub stack, Peter Gingerbregan, comparing these experiences.
And there's some important things in common. I'll mention one of them to you, and that is Washington later on, let me say this, later on, Washington continued doing this all the time. Once the war started, he was always in the front on a big white stallion, and he never got hit. And he also wrote at times with his closest, I believe his closest friend, and I think I'm the only one that ever wrote about this, and wow, I'm an American, another thing that's been totally shut up by the media. He was riding with a man who was his best friend and his slave.
Talk about the ambiguities and ambivalences of the time. A man he liberated and took very good care of,
but there's almost no place in the history books, Mr. Lee.
And Lee never got hit.
They even intervened early on together in a rebellion, and the army was very new between the northerners and southerners. People were fighting with each other in the army, and he and Lee went in again, they stopped it. So maybe think about what Washington calls providence. He also calls God, says God, kind providence. And Donald Trump saying God is with me.
Folks, America was built on heroes who believed in what I like to call the daring to believe in a God, in God. I say daring to believe in a loving God.
So I want to leave you with those thoughts. Maybe that's what I can say about Donald Trump and what he's made me think about a lot.
And I think that's enough for now, but do you have anything, honey, you want to say, Ginger? No, I'm just so grateful that our former president and future president, Donald Trump, is alive and well, and clearly he's so deeply moved by what happened. But he's also a very courageous man. And I guess the one thing I'd like to say is there's been some comment that people who experienced a true drama would not be able to respond the way he has and the way his family has. I've seen a lot of that muttering.
I did online. And that is absolutely false. If if one has a belief in God and a belief in the potential for goodness in the world, you can overcome.
Any trauma, and especially given the relief and the gratefulness that that family clearly experiences with President Trump's survival, and the gratefulness so many of us also experience that he's survived with so little injury and the miraculous nature of this event, which really imbues it with a whole nother level of importance and significance. He is actually behaving the way I would expect an individual with strength and valor and faith to believe, I mean, to to behave. Yeah, I mean, the way I describe him is the like a statue, you could have a statue of this four or five people. And, oh, God, like the Iwo Jima statue, where the flag is flying and the Marines are lifting it up. Yeah.
But in this case, the Secret Service are trying to hold him down and protect him. And he rises up above them like the Statue of Liberty, holding up a lantern to lighten the world with his courage. And, and indeed he has. And we got to start now just calling, calling things as they are. I think to me, it's just over now coddling the progressives.
They hate courage. They hate America. They hate most things good. They're driven by hatred. And then they become the pawns of the globalists, and progressives become the pawns of the globalists.
So some are capitalists, some are, you know, communists, you know, they're all kinds of folks, but they're united in the hatred of courage and individualism because they want to rule the world. So they use these globalists, many of these progressives, many of them just don't know what's happening to them. Like I didn't know anything about anything when I was thought I was a progressive in high school a few years ago. And we have to just call it. They hate heroism.
Well, and what we have to do is name heroism, name miracles, when we experience miracles, we need to name the miracles and acknowledge them and certainly thank our creator for for arranging things so that we have miracles in our lives. And we've only got six minutes left. Yeah, we haven't even gone to our guests yet, who are two of the sweetest human beings on Earth. So we may just have to very soon have a second show, because I don't think you guys are not going to be sold short. I swear.
we, you know, we see our guests on video, even though it's a radio show, and they have been nodding and smiling and sharing sadness with me as as I've been talking.
And I want to say something to progressives today, because Trump is saying we must be united. If Donald can say that, I can, too. By God, nobody is. I've been told people threatened to kill me many, many times, but then I haven't been shot at yet. Actually, did try to kill us years.
By the way, that's terrible. They tried to kill us years and years and years ago. And they are on another show, maybe. Yeah, yeah. Well, not at the time.
today. We got very, very ill. We're all going to doctors, including one of our daughters.
So I want to say something to you, you, you don't have to be afraid of heroes.
You don't have to be afraid of authority automatically. Oh, yes. Always distrust authority. Don't? you don't want to be very careful about people with too much power.
But don't feel like you should be frightened all the time and guilt ridden and shameful the way they're making you feel. You just don't have to. You don't have to imagine that if you have a trauma, you'll be done in. You don't have to imagine you need a crying room for trauma.
I'd like to say something else, too, if that's all right with me. I'd like to say that it's OK to embrace the joy in the moments that joy occurs. And we've actually had a joyous, miraculous occurrence. We've avoided an incredible, we've been spared an incredible, horrific time of another assassination in this country. And it's OK to embrace the gratefulness and embrace the miracle and feel joy and happiness over what has occurred.
God bless you. Thank you. Am I the luckiest man alive? I think this is so real, folks. This is so true.
Now, I'm going to introduce you to to Steve Miller and Kristin, am I saying your name right? Christine, Christine, Christina, Christina. Yeah, this is totally impromptu meeting, Christina Miller.
They're married, as you might have guessed, and they're. we're looking at them, and they're the sweetest couple. They just glow at each other and they've been married for quite a few years now. Not as many as me and Peter, but they clearly are very much in love. They're not as old as we've been married.
Right.
Am I right? And we've got a little over two minutes left in this segment, but we're going to Peter's going to introduce you to Steve and his work and his work with his wife, Christina, with with Christine. And we see a very parallel, parallel relationship among these much younger people. And we have things in common. We know we're friends with, deeply influenced by Catherine Austin Fitts.
And Steve is the writer of of COVID Unmasked 2020 and beyond. It's a video, a movie. And we just found out about it. Ginger's seen a portion of it. Yes.
And it's an amazing documentary and a highly praised made movie of, uh, I don't know, the week of the month, or something by Catherine Austin Fitz, who, uh, we are all in agreement about. is, um, the, uh, just a star in the human firmament. And, uh, also, I want to say that I do believe that due to my meeting them this way and seeing the beauty of this couple and begging.
Mrs. Miller to come on the TV, like come, but it's for us, as TV, to come on the radio show. I think this is your maiden voyage. Is that right? Indeed, it would be.
Yes.
You get a minute to say hello to everybody. And when we come back, if this is, you know, we've had great guests. I think this is like, like way at the top. Oh, you get a minute. Wow.
I'm excited.
We're really glad. We're really glad you joined us. Thank you. When we come back, Steve is going to, and Christina are going to tell us, uh, some about their 2023 documentary that came out unmasked, 2020 and beyond. COVID unmasked.
COVID unmasked and Steve both produced and directed this documentary. It, I watched part four already, and I am just thrilled that this has come out. Uh, video is one of the most important ways to communicate, uh, contemporary history as it, uh, occurs at this time. And thank you both so much for all the work and the sweat and the tears that you've put into this, uh, such important record of what we've all experienced. We're going to go to break and we'll be back in just a couple of minutes.

Well, our wonderful, wonderful audience. We are back, Peter and Ginger Bregan, and we are with Steve and Christina Miller. And Steve is the writer, producer, director of COVID, unmasked 2020 and beyond. And, for those of you who know, uh, our mutual friend with them, Catherine Austin Fitz, she is, holds it in the highest regard and gave it an award. So take over.
Uh, uh, I occupied a whole segment. Say things to us. You put me on such a pedestal. As soon as I start talking, I know I'm going to dwindle very quickly. So, uh,
You know, I'm going to make a comment about what you were talking about, which was beautiful, by the way, Peter, and your comments to gender, the people were up against, uh, the people that are opposing us, the people you're talking about, the global predators, as you put it, uh, these should not be scary. Yes. They have lines of communication, lines of production, uh, influence in other ways. But beyond that, they are miserable. They are hollow.
They are empty. They are shells of human beings. There's nothing there. And sometimes you should even look, don't worry about, oh, who's higher than that. Who's higher than that.
But just look at what's in front of you. Let's say a Fauci, let's say a Harari, let's say a Klaus Schwab. These are cartoon characters. These are little, little people, not because, not because of physical size, just little minds, little spirits. And we have to, as Peter was saying so beautifully, we have to get over this idea that they have power over us.
They have no power. What they do is illegal. It's highly immoral. The only time it's illegal is when they make up laws, and part four gets into this very heavily. The laws they make up are actually, should be null and void, because they're in violation of what's called the Supreme law, the constitution of the US.
So they're nothing. What are we doing? At least in the wizard of Oz, he ended up being a kindly old man, you know, some strange motives, but these aren't kindly anything. And you're right. They, they hate love.
They hate empathy. They hate compassion because they can't have any. They love hate. That's what they live at. They'll have pretend smiling faces, pretend it's all a pretense.
It's all a mockery of the real thing. Uh, so, just keep it in mind. We all know this, but to really, I haven't met those particular people, but I've met a few people at the top or near the level we're talking about. If I started telling you stories, you wouldn't believe me. You know what?
Maybe I will. You could tell a story. Yeah, I'm going to tell one. There's a CEO of a top, top, top corporation.
Um, he went on a rampage to me. He was kind of letting his hair down. I wish this was a visual for the audience, but you'll get the idea. He, in, in a face of utter contempt, disdain and everything else. with this and twisted, he started imitating his take on humanity.
And I'm not even exaggerating, you know, about this is Bob. And he started saying, Oh, Oh, my wife, I love my wife so much. And he was married to fully sarcastic, but he wasn't just talking about himself. He was talking about people out there, the idea that we love our wives. Oh, my kids mean so much to me.
He went on and on. Oh, we went to a concert and, Oh, it was so beautiful. Don't ask me why. he went into the Beatles for about five minutes, probably because it was too joyous. Yeah.
Oh, we liked the Beatles. He hit, they hate life. I mean, I couldn't pull this guy. I wasn't drunk at the time. He wasn't under the influence of anything that I know of.
This is how he felt. And he was just sharing it. That's where these people are at. He went on and on. I can't even remember half of it, but, Oh, it was just disdainful of everything that we hold dear, every value that Peter was talking about.
They hate them. And there've always been people. It's nothing new. It didn't start at this time or at that time. This is throughout history, all times, all places.
It's just a very, very tiny minority of people. It sounds to me as though hate is the only thing that really gives them feelings. And that's probably why some, yeah, I hadn't thought of that before. And that's why I think so many of them turn to, um, uh, to, uh, the, the, the occult, with the sort of absolute evil and negativity of, uh, things like Satanism or sacrifice and blood sacrifice and so forth, I think this is an incredibly important way to begin the conversation. Uh, you know, I started out making this personal, and what we're talking about is very personal.
And you may, what we're talking about personal, and we're, we're calling this personalized totalitarianism, their hatred, they want to get to us personally with, with chips and a body, with a transhumanism confining us. And they hate joy. I hate joy. They want to steal joy every minute, which I think applies to the last week. Because actually, as horrific as this attempted assassination was, there's an amazing joy to the fact that this president of the United States survived the, the event and has risen up stronger than ever before and is like uniting people, bringing people together and encouraging people to, uh, embrace American traditional constitutional ideals and to really grow and thrive.
And that's what is hated. is all that real joy in life. Exactly. Right. And that means we need to like recognize when someone's trying to steal our joy, we need to go, wait a minute.
Uh, sure. Question data, but that kind of denigration of what happened, that, uh, sometimes I've been seeing, is another way to simply, but to simply steal the joy. And yeah. And what was more joyous than this supreme boomerang, this backfire. I can't think of a better one, a more major one, a more, not only nationwide, but planetarily, because the whole world is watching.
and boy, did it backfire. It just brought more joy, more hope, more patriotism, more love, more belief. I can go on and on all the values that we all cherish. and it brought it to the forefront. Yes.
And of course it wasn't because Trump had it, the audience had it. Many people have commented on this and they were elevated higher, to a higher place than I don't even know if they fully realized what they were doing or what they weren't doing, they weren't stampeding, they weren't ducking, they weren't running away, they were standing tall. Just Trump being, you know, you could see it in that moment. Why would people stand? There was something there, that strength, there's a leader there.
People don't do that just naturally. They preserve their own self normally, but there was something more that kept them there, seeing, watching what's happening. And to me, that was an extraordinary thing. I thought that was beautiful. I did too.
You went by my sentence, for those of you who are listening, but did not hear Trump speak, what was just being described, I'm not sure you would have made the connection, is Trump talking about the incredible experience that his audience didn't flee, practically no one took flight. People weren't even hiding. I'm getting a chill describing this. People stood looking for the shooter. Of course they loved the man, they weren't abandoning the man.
They thought maybe the man was dead. If so, they were not leaving. They were going to be there. It was incredible. And that's the context, because I wasn't sure the connection had been made of what our guests were talking about, about this amazing phenomena that Trump addressed in his speech and how much it touched him.
That probably, I never, I agree with him. I've never seen anything where shots are rapidly being fired, but nobody leaves because their loved one, their deeply respected leader, is being shot. They're not even running. It's unheard of, especially in this age of pure, unrepentant spectatorism. People just watching.
And cowardice. And cowardice. And what didn't these people do? Where's the cell phone? Yeah.
Yeah, they weren't recording, right? They weren't recording. They were actually watching with their eyes. They didn't get their phones out. Oh, they didn't take their phones out.
I haven't heard. It's just something I noticed when I watched it. That's an amazing insight. Isn't it interesting? There were a few, but not many.
Not many. Usually it's the whole crowd. Usually it's everybody. Yeah. Usually it's everybody.
You see, the lights go on, even if it's dark and stuff. Yeah. I really like the way this is going today. And, um, you, you, you know, all of you are, are just amazing. And I want to say again now to the, to the, to the people called the globe, the progressives, under the influence of globalists, which they don't necessarily know, saying nobody's heroic.
I mean, here are all these people who are supposed to be traumatized and no one's leaving the scene of the threat. It's incredible. And that's because they're all heroes and that's their values. They're standing up, which puts them in danger. They're standing out and pointing in the direction of the shooter.
Many of them making themselves targets. Not even knowing if the shooter is still alive or not. There's another one. Or if there's another one. Yeah.
The only person we know of who dove for cover was the now famous fireman who dove on his children. Yeah, exactly.
And was it just one child? His wife and his daughter. Yeah.
But I think just one was there. So that's the one. Oh, okay. Yeah. And, and, and, uh, she got shot.
Yeah. He got shot. She didn't. He got, he died. Big hulky man.
Yeah. So I'm really glad to be doing this with you too. You couldn't be better guests to debrief the day. That's the natural thing for us to be doing today. Yeah, definitely.
And, um, Steve, you've already been very articulate about what you're saying. that, um, the, uh, you know, your, your show, COVID, your video, COVID unmasked 2020 and beyond, it's, it's a real documentary about what COVID is doing to people. Um, I felt, I feel like I need a breath. He's still got five minutes in the second segment. Anybody have a particular something to add to it?
Well, I think that one of the things about the video and the documentation of the COVID era is to, is to, to actually reveal what the, uh, strings were behind the, behind this terror campaign that we were all subjected to. And we were all subjected to, uh, uh, uh, really a planetary trauma. And, uh, uh, and it caused us to acquiesce, because I remember, in the very first few days when those statistics were trotted out by. Fauci and others about how this new disease could go around the planet and take, I can't remember how many millions, but it was a huge number of deaths, and then you figure you add illnesses onto that. And that is a terrifying concept.
And that's one of the reasons why I think we need to look at this kind of thing, like you are in the documentary, to prepare ourselves for future attempts to bring us to points of terror in our lives. We have to proof ourselves up against a knee-jerk reaction, and we have to recognize the underlying, uh, manipulations that are going on, that are trying to, um, take away, to steal our freedoms and to steal our liberty and turn us into, uh, slaves and, um, serfs. We're all, we all have the capacity to embrace joy and love and, uh, freedom, and to remember what it was like in earlier times, when we've experienced it personally, and to help each other to, to be there again. So thank you very much for doing this kind of work. Oh, you're very welcome.
Yeah. I'll just say, I just always look at it as two very simple questions. What are we feeling? We, the people who wants us to feel that way, with something like this, with a negative emotion, with such fear, terror, who, who we bono, who benefits? And we know the answer, because more is coming.
We know that too. This is the start. This is the launching pad. COVID didn't end anything. It was the official beginning.
Yes, exactly. It's planned. We, we described on our own, but COVID-19, the global predators, this thing was officially announced 10 years before COVID, when Bill Gates, with Klaus Schwab and, and with other major figures in the world, announced the decade of the vaccine, that is the year we jab you all the poison and make a fortune on it, the numbers are, are astronomical and nobody quite looks at it, it's funny to me, because you're exactly right. Many people don't know it. 2010 to 2010, to 2019 was announced by Bill Gates as the decade of vaccines.
What is the end product of that decade of vaccine, you know, which is supposed to be the decade of health, of unparalleled health. That's what that's. What is the product of it? A pandemic, the likes of which planet earth has never seen. And that's not much of a, that's like a war.
Well, it does happen with politicians. It was really a pandemic, not to confuse people. It was a pandemic of vaccines. Yeah. A pandemic of vaccines.
Because the pandemic itself turns out to be no worse than the flu and practically harmless to anybody under 50.. It's a reshuffling of numbers, people in car accidents, COVID, drug abuse, COVID, people dying of heart, people dying at 103, COVID, it's just, it's silly when you really look at it, I do my best to lay it out. That's right. And the murders and the intentional deaths that were caused by withholding medical care, by giving toxic medical care in the hospital, including ventilations and toxic medicines, that never should have been being given. We have 35 seconds left.
I want to go even deeper into, in the next segment, how this hatred they have for us gets into an area my wife's really been studying and I've been thinking about too, for decades, really. And that is why would people invent something to kill other people of their own nation, because I know folks, it's unbelievable, and I know you want to say, no, they couldn't have meant to kill us with the vaccine. So stay with us. They're not like us. You've got to understand them deeper.
We'll be back in a very short time.
When God, through his grace and mercy, gave us free will, the will of the people was to live freely. To that end, we fight for the liberty of all at a time when global tyranny threatens us as never before in mankind's history.

We're back again with Steve Miller and Christina Miller, and Steve is holding his hand over his mouth, but she's so eager to speak and is afraid to interrupt. Steve! As an aside, Christina will like this. In the fourth grade, my teacher called me chatterbox because I couldn't shut up.
That would have been the end of the story. That's ginger too, we'll hear that. I already interrupted him. once. The plot thickens, years and years, and decades later.
I meet Christina. We're talking. She says to me, was it fourth grade for you or fifth grade? I was like in third grade. Third grade.
So she beat me to it. as usual. Her teacher called her chatterbox. If that's not love, I don't know what is. We both can talk a blue string.
Yeah. Well, it's a little more dangerous with people called ginger.
Horsey, Rorsey. Oh God.
That's what the, that's what my, uh, neighbor kids called me in the first, the second and third grade. Then we moved again and I, I was able to leave that particular nickname behind resurrected it. Truth is that her mother gave her the responsibility of raising two children who were two and four years, my younger siblings, young siblings from running in the streets. I was doing it now with me. Yeah.
I was in charge of keeping them from. My brother was hard of hearing and I was supposed to make sure he didn't walk into the street. when we were playing outside, the three of us, uh, and get hit by a car. And then my little sister was a two-year-old toddler. So I had a lot of responsibility when I would forget that it kind of grows with you and you spread it everywhere.
I've had a very similar situation. Yeah. Yeah. Of the kids and nephews and nieces. Yeah.
And then the animals, you know, and yeah. You guys are terrific. You too. Both of you.
Same.
Um, I've got to be really selfish. It's such a personal show. I want you to tell the story about when you first heard of me.
Oh, yeah. Christina. Yeah. Yeah. It kind of kismet, because I've known of you now for the last, at least seven or eight, actually, since I met Steve.
So it's at least 10 years, but I grew up on Long Island. And I'm Italian. I have, um, had an Italian family, but my best friend, um, she was Jewish, and she had two parents that were very educated and well-spoken. And her dad was a psych psychologist. Her mom was a dance therapist.
And when we would hang out together, I'd see her dad, who we called fondly Bob. And. You know, he would talk a lot about his practice or different people, things like that. And I was, I'm actually thinking, maybe I was about 13 and he would always mention this book and this man named Dr. Peter Breggin.
And he would talk about Dr. Peter Breggin. Like he was, you know, the hero of the come down to earth. And I kept thinking, who is this guy? I wonder, and, and Bob Shank, which is named Dr.
Robert Shank, he, um, he said he, you know, used the way you, the thoughts and the things that you talked about as almost like his Bible when he would treat patients and how he looked at it. And he was just so enamored with your work and what you thought. So I, I grew up knowing, knowing this name, Dr. Peter Breggin. I didn't know much about your work at the time.
I just knew if Bob liked you, it had to be something great. Cause he was an incredible guy. He like did things for me that I guess in my own way, my dad didn't do. He would take us to the park and show us flowers and botanicals and name different things. And he was just, and he wrote poems in Brooklyn, on the, on this, on the slopes and things like that.
So I just knew if he had someone that he admired, he had to be somebody pretty special. So fast forward, I meet Steve and he of course knew about your work. And he would, soon as he talked about Dr. Peter Breggin, I said, oh my gosh, you've got to be kidding this. Dr.
Peter Breggin. I know him, my friend, Jenna and her dad had told me so much about him when I was younger. And so, yeah, it just kind of comes full circle and it was just very touching. Um, he, Bob Shank, actually passed away recently and even just before his death, he was still talking about you, still talking about your work, still, you know, and his, his daughter, Jenna, who I'm best friends with, she called me. She said, you know, my dad, just this man, Dr.
Peter Breggin, meant so much to him in his life. And I said, Jenna, Dr. Peter Breggin, like we know of him and have talked to him or seen him, and she just couldn't believe it. But her dad has never, you've never left his mind, even to the day he died. And I know you've never met him, but he was a incredible practitioner and he used your work as a template.
I mean, I know that for a fact. Yeah. Well, when I was a young man and I heard a story like this, I would just not even let myself have any feelings about it. I'm marching on and, uh, I can tell you now, at this point in my life, it's really touching, deeply to, for you to tell us that story at the beginning. Um, yeah.
And this is a show about connection, really. It's a show about loving and caring. It's a, it's a, it's a talk about being real and vulnerable. Yeah. I just, I'm being able to be vulnerable.
No, I want to talk to young progressives again. You know, um, and this is, this is because of Donald Trump. So I'll, I'll admit it. I mean, he said it, he talked about, you know, this kind of threat and all and near death. You, you, uh, um, you think about things near death, ADH, near death.
So, I mean, I can either wake up every morning figuring, as a friend told me, Hey, I won, I just woke up, you know, but, um,
I want to tell you, you don't have to base your life on resentments, regrets. I'll tell you something that happens in therapy.
Almost always. Well, really always. And that is, you can have come in with all these regrets. And if you've had a life lesson, my clients are almost as old as me, or you could be a young person and you've got all these regrets, once you start to live life as a free person, you have no regrets for everything else that's happened. It's astonishing.
Once you finally fall in love, once you finally do the work you want to do, once you finally stand up for what you believe in, once you finally, let's say, get free of oppressive parents who you talk to on the phone four times a week, and I always remind you how you're not worth anything. Once you get free,
no regrets at all. You don't have to hate conservatives, or hate progressives, or hate communists, or hate anybody. You know, in the past year, I mean, it's not as bad as being shot at, but, you know, we were sued for 20, some, what was it? $25 million, $25 million, knowing that behind the man suing us was his best, deepest friends in the deep state, friends that he always talked about, knowing that that was probably the source of why anybody would do something so ridiculous, except they needed to suppress me and Ginger politically, we both got sued, and Jane Ruby, who was sued with us, they needed to suppress her, but they most of all needed to intimidate, traumatize the people in the freedom movement. We did not get traumatized.
We got busy. We got to thinking, we got to planning, and we also got to put this in a little corner while we went on, but everything we were always doing, and we didn't even overreact, we didn't curse him out in public, like he was literally just about doing with us, you know, we would just lived our lives, and I almost died early in the last year from COVID, and Ginger, COVID pneumonia, but with very bad looking, broken glass sort of lungs, but I mean, I haven't even been COVID, by the way, I mean, it could have been so many other things that we just don't know about, COVID gets built up and I don't want to build it up anymore, but Ginger, with her mother in the hospital, and then her husband in the hospital, she didn't cave in, she didn't go into trauma, she didn't even let anybody know. she felt so sick that she turned out to have pneumonia. Yeah. Wow.
So I want you to know you don't have to cower before the bullies and turn into a hateful person against Jews, against Christians, because progressively too, you're taught to hate everybody, and you don't have to hate yourself, you don't have to mutilate yourself to change your gender, you want to change your attitudes on life, do it, you want to change how you think about life and what you want to tell people about, do it, but don't close the door on your options at 15 by mutilating your body, don't let anybody tell you to do it, and if anybody ever, while you're young, if anybody young happens to be, if only one young person's listening, this will be worth it, and that is, and if they tell you, don't tell your mother or father what we're talking about, you're in a communist country. That's where that's done. Hitler did that, a Nazi country.
Well, I'm going to, I don't know, I'm having a lot of feelings about today. I think this is a really good and important talk. I'm going to be quiet now until the show's over. That was beautiful. It was beautiful.
Thank you for me. I'm sure it was, yeah. It was beautiful. I think. the one thing, oh, I'm sorry, Steve.
Very quick side note. I love the way my documentary came out. Obviously. it was a moving target, so things change as we go. And yet I captured most of it early on.
My one regret, I will say, is at the end of part two, that certain somebody who you're talking about, who sued you for half a gazillion dollars or half the national debt, or whatever it was. I did feature him, because I, not, not a lot, you know, it was about a 30 second closing with a quote of his, a good quote, little did I know, you know, he's playing both sides and I was like, oh, I wish I could scratch that one, that one section. Well, for me, you just scratched it. So, thank you. That's true.
Fantastic. So if I come across it, I'm not going to, yeah, I had to warn you. I'm not even going to make a face. I'm going to say, ah, yeah, he fools a lot of people. And without even naming names, because I've spoken to, as, as have you guys to a lot of the people in our sort of ad hoc movement, if you want to call it a movement, most of them know at this point about him.
Yeah. So, yeah, like I said, no, no need for rancor, bitterness, right? He's already got enough rancor in business, bitterness for all of us. You know, exactly. The specialty, that's not ours.
We go on. Yeah. Keep doing what we're doing. Like you said, you just get busy and what you kind of, you know, to be able to just overthrow. that, just keep working.
I'm just asking, I think that, yeah, you just asking me if this was the third segment, it's just been flying by. I have a thought about what underlies so much of this, and it's, I think, I think it's really important, and that is that, you know, we've all heard there's another pandemic coming, and we've all heard for, in our lifetimes, decades worth, of information about how the planet is going to fail because it's overpopulated, or the planet is going to fail because we're polluting it so badly and we need to do these massive and extreme things to save the planet, and so forth, and so on. I think we have to address that fear, that fear of termination, the fear of personal death, the fear of the planet collapsing, that sort of existential fear that any living thing must have as a survival mechanism is being constantly tweaked, constantly stimulated in our culture by nefarious sources who want to control us and they use that to control us. So when COVID was announced and we were told there were 11 cases of the disease in the world or in the country or wherever they were, there were two on a cruise ship and so forth in very early days. And we saw pictures out of China of emergency rooms and pictures coming in from Italy.
Boy, did that hit that kind of fundamental survival and fear response. The fear response is supposed to make us want to save ourselves. But under those circumstances, we're just massively manipulated by it. So we need to proof ourselves up and protect our hearts and our minds and our own psychologies against that kind of trigger. And I think we have to just embrace the idea that we're living a life.
We want to embrace it with gusto and with enthusiasm and all the love we can pack into it and all of the intelligence and principled living and so forth. And we need to recognize, if ever we get triggered, that that's what that is and step back and go, wait a minute, you're asking me not to leave my home. You're asking me to breathe through a mask 24 hours a day. Practically, you're asking me not to go to work, not to send my kids to school, to de-socialize my children by keeping them in this little tiny apartment, and so forth, and so on. This is one of the most important.
And asking me to give shots to my children. You're asking me to give shots to my children. That are a murder weapon or have been studied, except on animals, where they kill the animals. That's right. Or taking shots while I'm pregnant.
And we know you aren't even supposed to take a damn aspirin when you're, excuse me, when you're pregnant, you know. So we've only got two minutes left, but I'd love other input on this. I think it's so fundamental. This could protect us against whatever comes up in the future. The planet's going to blow up.
There's World War Three. There's, you know, disease X is coming. We have to respond differently than we did last time. Steve, Christina, last word.
Apropos of what you were saying, look at how close we've come, how often, even the 20th century, you look at a Hitler, you look at they self-destruct. Doesn't mean we can't help it along. Doesn't mean we can't expedite it, but they can't carry it through. It's too evil. There's too many of us versus them.
We're the many. They're the few. We're so many. people have said it, it's almost a cliche, but only because it is true. We represent spirit.
They represent dirt. I don't know, a degradation. So. We handle, we take care of it, we address it because we have to and we get on with our lives and we make a better, a better life. Yeah, this is probably maybe on a simpler note, but just a simple act of and I remember during COVID, I would, I became like a leader, even if it was just going to a grocery store.
So you lead by example to. people were standing on circles, waiting on line and wouldn't move off a circle. And I couldn't believe what I was seeing. And so I would be very kind of jovial and lighthearted. We actually, I'm just remembering this now, we dressed up one day, he put on a suit.
I put on a dress with heels. Okay. And we went to a grocery store in our town because people were cowering and masking. And it was like, who are these people? And we didn't wear the mask inside and we didn't get thrown out that time.
But there was something that people were turning and looking like, what is this crazy circle of positive love or energy walking through the grocery store? We're talking, we laugh, we pick things up. We and walking arm in arm. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
And for some reason we weren't even being told that we had to leave. So there was something about it. I knew that we were putting out that, you know, just sprinkling that, that stuff out there, that it made people have just a little bit more ability to say, you know what? I don't want to do this either. Why should I do it?
And I saw that over and over again. I did that quite a bit during. Love and joy and courage. Yeah. Steve Miller, Christina Miller.
God bless you both. Donald Trump. God bless that you're alive. Folks, yes, let's unite. Freedom and love.
